cirtuvivint/olaparib in breast cancer susceptibility gene/homologous recombination deficiency platinum resistant ovarian cancer

Conditions: Endometrioid Ovarian Cancer; Primary Peritoneal Cancer; Fallopian Tube Cancer

Summary: the purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and tolerability of cirtuvivint in combination with olaparib in platinum resistant ovarian cancer. the study also aims to determine the recommended dose of the combination therapy. if a participant is a good fit for the study, and they enroll in the study, they will: * visit the clinic often at the beginning of the study for physical exams, blood draws, vital signs, and other study and routine care procedures. after the first two months participants will visit the clinic every 28 days. * take the study medications, cirtuvivint and olaparib. participants will take olaparib every day. participants will either take cirtuvivint 5 days per week or 2 days per week.

this trial is a non-comparative phase i combination trial with the goal of determining the safety and rp2d of cirtuvivint when given orally daily (5 days on 2 days off) combined with olaparib given orally bid (continuously) for 28 day cycles, and of cirtuvivint when given orally daily (2 days on 5 days off) combined with olaparib given orally bid (continuously) for 28 day cycles. patients will enter the two cohorts in alternating fashion by time of enrollment. the patient population will be women with platinum resistant high grade serous or endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer who are germline or somatic brca/hrd positive. due to potential survival detriment of late line parp inhibition, patients will be limited to no more than 3 prior lines of therapy. olaparib will be dosed at the standard recommended dose of 300mg bid and adjusted appropriately for known adverse events.

part of the same line (ie, not counted independently) * hormonal therapy will be counted as a separate line of therapy unless it was given as maintenance * prior radiation is allowed and is not considered a line of treatment 9. patients must have had testing for brca mutation (tumor or germline) and tumor hrd testing, and have been positive for one and/or the other. 10. patients must have

patients must have creatinine clearance estimated of ≥51 ml/min using the cockcroft-gault equation or based on a 24 hour urine test * aspartate aminotransferase (ast)(serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (sgot)) and alanine aminotransferase (alt) (serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (sgpt)) ≤ 2.5 x uln unless liver metastases are present in which case they must be ≤ 5x uln * serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x uln (patients with documented diagnosis of gilbert syndrome are eligible if total bilirubin \< 3.0 x uln) * serum albumin ≥ 2 g/dl 12. patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. 13. ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. participants with impaired decision-making capacity (idmc) who have a legally-authorized representative (lar) and/or family member available will also be eligible. exclusion criteria: 1. patients with clear cell, mucinous, sarcomatous, low grade/borderline, germ cell, or sex-cord stromal type ovarian tumor 2. patients with platinum refractory disease as defined by those who have progressed during or within 4 weeks of receiving platinum-based therapy 3. patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons) within 3 weeks prior to study treatment 4. patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia or with features suggestive of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia. 5. patients considered a poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection. examples include, but are not limited to: * uncontrolled major seizure disorder * unstable spinal cord compression * any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent. * any other concurrent infectious disease
